beyerdynamic painting

i know this is not a big deal but the raised lettering on the cups of my beyerdynamic dt 770 pro 80 ohms have faded alot. i bought them used and they were already partially faded when i got them. i was wondering if there were any fellow head-fiers have ever attempted repainting them and have any tips to help me out. 

if someone that lives on the east coast, i'd be willing to ship them to you so you paint them for me if that works better.

just use a silver sharpie or paint marker and LIGHTLY graze the raised surface of the letters with it, it should restore the look youre after.

You may prefer gloss or satin enamel paints to metallic ones. I feel like they are more durable, but would welcome correction.

i ended up using a felt tip sharpie paint marker. don know how available these are but thankfully i live in Boston and i can go to a art store with 10 different shades of white lol.it was so ridiculous to do, if i messed up i would have to go wipe it off where i messed up but overall i think it turned out awesome and I'm gonna see how long this lasts before it starts fading.
